    I felt a bit too biased about the unite move so im lowering it to 9.5 instead

    11 kewlboi kewlboi almost 4 yearsReport

    (Ran outta characters) Unite move? 10/10. really good unite move, AOE, does good damage, can pressure opposing team, the ideal unite move. Conclusion: for being really cheap hes really good, he's really squishy but defenders exist, Honestly, its good overall.

    Time to post my opinion about PIka. Durability-wise? 4.5/10 Squishy as hell to the point where even supporters do a good bit of their HP. Damage-wise? 9/10 honestly, its really good dmg-wise. im not shocked. YOU GET A STUN MOVE UP FROM EARLY TO LATE GAME, not only that, you get an AOE move that does lots of damage and is easy to hit or sure hit because of your stun. Support-wise? 7/10, not bad either. his stuns last for a trillion years which can effectively almost remove pokemon

    I think Thunder and Thunderbolt are better in jungle, because farming is much easier and faster

    But Pikachu is now good all stages.

    Thunder thunderbolt pikachu is terrifying, does fall off slightly late game, but is still really good.

    5 Anonymous Anonymous about 4 yearsReport

    That's not the case. Pikachu's late game is just not as good as its early game, but its late game provides a huge amount of Crowd Control.

    So what you want to say with this is that you lack skill or knowledge on how to play mid to late game? Or perhaps even both? The only way to fuck up with this little guy is by either having monkeys as teammates or if the enemy is simply better. Or if you are the monkey im your team.

    pikachu is an amazing early game powerhouse with electro ball and electroweb but is a d-tier overall because he sucks in mid game to late game

    2 Anonymous Anonymous about 4 yearsReport

    I do have to agree. Pikachu is one top tier Pokemon. Volt Tackle and Electro ball secures a single enemy. Thunder and Thunderbolt is a good crowd control moveset. Pikachu should go lane because his early game is good. Electroweb + Electro Ball or Thunder can secure an enemy or two.

    1 Anonymous Anonymous about 4 yearsReport

    Electroball does more single target damage while also having some aoe potential and has great damage output. It has a low cd and you can use it twice auto,q,e,auto,q in staple combos. Not only that but its main selling point for me is that it slows the enemy making it easier to follow up with thunderbolt. Its better than volt tackle bc it does more damage, it can stun mutiple targets and be used as engage and disengage, and you can chain it with electroballs slows unlike with volt tackle.
